Mail statement of account to meat once. Your request for tne grown peo ple to attend sabbat.i school with the children think very good ad vice. Thick parents should take the little ones to school and get them interested and then the par ents could stay away more or less while it would be beneficial for them to attend regular. All cant be good all the time: but they should be as good as they could. Don’t have any hesitation in mailing statement Yours very truly, 4 -J. A. B. Sikes. V. S. Would it not be very benefici al and a good warning to write up die cause of each murder when it s from whiskey and put special -dless on it an when a hanging is produced by booze.
